“…Of the 59 responding CTSA Hubs, 18 (31%) were classified as large, 15 The survey asked respondents to provide a description of their hub composition by indicating the number of different organizations with which they were partnered. Most CTSAs stated having four or five different types of partner organizations: academic medical centers, 50 (85%); universities, 50 (85%); medical schools, 48 (81%), hospital systems, 46 (78%), major medical group practices, 24 (41%), and, others including VA centers, private research centers, community organizations, cooperative extensions, public health organizations, and blood centers, 16 (27%).…”

This article presents a landscape assessment of the findings from the 2021 Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Evaluators Survey. This survey was the most recent iteration of a well established, national, peer-led systematic snapshot of the CTSA evaluators, their skillsets, listed evaluation resources, preferred methods, and identified best practices. Three questions guided our study: who are the CTSA evaluators, what competencies do they share and how is their work used within hubs. We describe our survey process (logistics of development, deployment, and differences in historical context with prior instruments); and present its main findings. We provide specific recommendations for evaluation practice in two main categories (National vs Group-level) including, among others, the need for a national, strategic plan for evaluation as well as enhanced mentoring and training of the next generation of evaluators. Although based on the challenges and opportunities currently within the CTSA Consortium, takeaways from this study constitute important lessons with potential for application in other large evaluation consortia. To our knowledge, this is the first time 2021 survey findings are disseminated widely, to increase transparency of the CTSA evaluators' work and to motivate conversations within hub and beyond, as to how best to leverage existent evaluative capacity.

“…This percentage was consistent across all sizes and age categories. This was an important number given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of activities and another testimonial published concerning the adaptive capacity of the group [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
